Hi E'body,
I'm just curious about why Zope is being used in the FSF India
website work.
I personally think the use of Apache/PHP with Postgres would be far
better in the results -- especially with heavy loads on the server.
The design and look of a webpage are as important as the content
it holds. That's why I offered to help the design team.
Also I think Arun might be able to get a copy of what I would call
phpGnuke from the FreeDevelopers.net -- Phpnuke with the gifs removed.
I have a floating GNU + Fsf India that could easily become a "Freedom
Matters" logo.
I had the stuff all configured (almost all...) on my box, way
back in January. I'm attaching a screenshot.

PS: I had attatched a .jpg yesterday -- but got rejected due to
the file size limit. Anyone wanting a peek at my work may mail me
off list and get the screenshot.

Hi E'body,
I'm just curious about why Zope is being used in the FSF India
website work.

I haven't used Zope . So some of my comments may be wrong.
The design and look of a webpage are as important as the content
it holds. I think a few php hacks can be done to deliver the correct
format for the appropriate browser. (templatising html for browsers).
Also this will allow separation of the logic & presentation layer.
Even otherwise the advantages of Mixing HTML with php is a very
good way to reduce SQL load. Also writing PHP Scripts is no big deal.
A *lot* of freesoftware php tools are running round sf.net & savannah
which may solve many of our problems.
Some of php's special mentions include the phplib, phpwiki, phpnuke,
phpgroupware......
Also I think Arun might be able to get a copy of what I would call
phpGnuke from the FreeDevelopers.net -- with the gifs removed. I have a
floating GNU + Fsf India that could easily become a Freedom Matters logo.
Also if we use phpnuke we'll have to use mysql (sic) -- But the
savings on work is unimaginable. Why reinvent the wheel ?. All in
all the look surpasses SquishDot anyday !.

Hi
I don't know how many people actually are subscribed to this list.. but
assuming there is a sizeable number, I'd like to suggest we start building
a directory for free software in India.
Frederick Noronha's article would be a great place to start building from-
I have a few pages ready with those he has listed; these are on the lines
of the directory built at www.gnu.org.
We also need to add search capability to this. Volunteers?

I hereby volunteer to help build the free software directory for
fsf-india

Done from side too! It is now forum.gnu.org.in, why not also
forum.gnu.org.in point to the same place.

Let's get things started with a brief introduction.
The FSF-India website is presently hosted by Dr. Nagarjuna at
TIFR. Arun has been the de-facto webmaster.
Besides the website, www.gnu.org.in, there is also a web magazine,
Freedom Matters, at http://www.hbcse.tifr.res.in/fsfindia/ developed
by Dr. Nagarjuna and Arun.
Dr. Nagarjuna is of the opinion that the main website can be done
using zope which enables collective and dynamic development of the
website. For this he can provide a starting template. An example of a
site made using zope by Dr. Nagarjuna is here:
http://www.ilug-bom.org.in/
Well?
